What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

I have some friends who make a meatloaf man to eat for Halloween dinner every year. Course, theirs isn't as detailed or as disturbing because it's a man, not a baby. All they do is stick a knife in it and have the sauce oozing out. It's actually quite cool. That baby...is creepy!

I think that is the grossest thing I have ever seen. - BTW - I actually attended a baby shower once with a tiny baby on the cake made of fondant (made by the dad's mother) and the mom to be was freaked out by the thought of eating a baby. Do people even consider that when they order these cakes?
